No explicit tool names declared in metadata yet. Check project README on main listing page.

Codebase Memory MCP Tools (17)

index_repository

Index a repository. full/moderate add semantics; fast omits them; cross-repo-intelligence links services. Reports coverage gaps.

search_graph

Find symbols via BM25 query, regex name/qn filters, or semantic_query. Rows keep qn/file/lines and in/out over CALLS/USAGE/CALL_REFERENCE/INHERITS/IMPLEMENTS.

query_graph

Read-only Cypher for multi-hop, aggregation, complexity, or cross-service analysis. Default: 200 visible rows with exact/lower-bound totals and truncation; continue safely with next_cursor. graph=missed is a file tree of flagged coverage gaps; absence is not proof of completeness. Use get_graph_schema(diagnostics=full) for properties.

trace_path

Trace callers/callees, data flow, or cross-service paths. Defaults exclude tests and resolver evidence. Rows keep qn/hop with explicit totals, relations, and continuations.
